1STATEMENT OF INTEREST OF AMICI“In the context of a Presidential election,”state actions “implicate a uniquely important national interest,” because“the impact of the votes cast in each State is affected by the votes cast for the various candidates in other States.” Anderson v.Celebrezze, 460 U.S. 780, 794–95 (1983). “For the President and the Vice President of the United States are the only elected officials who represent all the voters in the Nation.” Id.Amicicuriaeare the States of Missouri,Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi,Montana,Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah,and West Virginia.1Amicihaveseveralimportant interests in this case. First, the States have a strong interest in safeguarding the separation of powers among state actors in the regulation of Presidential elections. The Electors Clause of Article II, § 1 carefully separatespower among state actors, and itassignsa specific functionto the “Legislature thereof” in each State. U.S.CONST. art. II, § 1, cl. 4.Our system of federalism relies on separation of powers to preserve liberty at every level of government, and the separation of powers in the ElectorsClause is no exception. The States have a strong interest in preserving the proper roles of state legislatures in the administration of federal elections, and thussafeguarding the individual liberty of their citizens.

Also, Lin Wood filed a suit as a resident of GA. I think it got shot down.
The only “brief” GA voters have is the guillotine—or federal martial law carting off the criminal state “officials”.
Or Bill Barr. Ha!
Good find. Great job.
17 f’in states 17 f’in states. there is hope.
Technically true, but Thomas and Alito have both argued in previous cases that SCOTUS is required to accept cases of original jurisdiction for the simple reason that there is no other court the states can go to when they have a dispute against another state. I think you would easily have ACB and probably Gorsuch with the same viewpoint. Depending upon whether 4 votes or 5 are required to accept the case, Kavanaugh would be the wild card.
FROM THE AMICI-—
It gets better. The 16 states are now calling them ‘nefarious actors’.
Again, these non-legislative
changes raise concerns about election integrity in
Pennsylvania. They created a post-election window of
time during which nefarious actors could wait and see
whether the Presidential election would be close, and
whether perpetrating fraud in Pennsylvania would be
worthwhile
Deo Vindice !
Fist pump... Yes!
Since this is on a fast track I believe it would take to long for the other states to JOIN the suit however backing Texas is the next best thing!!!
wish we’d do the same, but I know what you mean. . .
I agree. I am pretty sure they need 5 to accept.
And the list above doesn't include Kentucky, which was one of the first states to join.
Reminds me of the Newsies. . . Heyyyyy Brooklyn’s here!!!!!
Bumping this excellent map!
He sounded very positive about it.
He’s going to appeal to SCOTUS
So proud right now to be a Texan!
These 17 states need to create an autonomous zone until this is adjudicated.
